                  Sets the path of a directory to be used as the location to create the access method database files.
             </p><p>
                 The syntax of this parameter in the <a href="../../programmer_reference/env_db_config.html#env_db_config.DB_CONFIG" class="olink">DB_CONFIG</a> file is a
                 single line with the string
                 <code class="literal">set_create_dir</code>, one or more whitespace
                 characters, and the directory name.
			</p><p>
			For example:
			</p><pre class="programlisting">set_create_dir /b/data2</pre>
			Sets data2 as the location to create the access method database files. When the
			<a class="xref" href="dbopen.html" title="DB-&gt;open()">DB-&gt;open()</a>  function is used to
			create a file, it will be created relative to this path.
